The hardest thing when choosing track-guided blinds is knowing which product will last the distance because when new they all look basically the same. It’s not until well after you’ve had your new track-guided blinds installed that you will know whether you’ve invested your hard earned money into a quality product or a dud.
At AusZip, only the best quality products go into the manufacture of our blinds and screens to produce high quality products that are great looking, flexible and highly durable.
Our hand-operated track-guided blinds can stop safely at any position. Our blind systems have no visible fixings and the world class fabric is fully zipped to frame.
During high winds (35km per hour or more), blinds should be left completely down or fully retracted up. Motorised blinds should be supervised whilst in motion. Avoid operating the blind in high winds, as the motor will have difficulty moving the blind whilst wind pressure is against the fabric.
Use a soft brush or a household cleaning cloth to clean the blinds.
In general, our blinds are designed to last for a long time without any need for maintenance for smooth operations.
Motorised blinds should be supervised while in motion to ensure there are not obstructions.
